Greetings again, Anatole! You know, I've realized I never speak to the Forge network unless I'm feeling partiiicularly philosophical. How nauseatingly self-indulgent of me, don't you agree?

So I won't do that tonight! Instead, I'm going to be aaaalllll business, heehee. Perhaps I'm being a touch shameless in my advertising, but I certainly wouldn

So you look for missing things, then? I can think of something I'd like to have found...

[Voice]

[break_onthru]

That's certainly a possibility! What is it you'd like to have found?

[video]

[transitorychild]

I would like to know what I am.

[Voice]

[break_onthru]

... Did you lose your identity here in Anatole? Because if you arrived like this, Iiiii'm not sure there's much we'll be able to do, you know?

[lilbloodeyes]

You talk a lot.

voice

[break_onthru]

Why yes I do! It's one of my many fine qualities.

voice

[lilbloodeyes]

Fine qualities.

[It's a question but...could be taken as a statement. Or sarcasm.]

voice

[break_onthru]

[Yeah. He can't get a good read on this one. That's rare.]

And what about you, hmm? What are some of your fine qualities, my dear?

[bound_by_this]

Well, philosophy can be interesting sometimes...!

But a detective agency, you say! How very interesting. I suppose that's a good thing to know.

[He pauses, tilting his head in thought.]

As to your questions though, I...don't think I can say that I do. But then I haven't been here too long.

[Voice] - LMAO OH THE IRONY

[break_onthru]

['Sup person he doesn't recognize at all. Maybe he would notice a certain resemblance to Oz-kun if he could see, but... well... it's his own fault he can't.]

Oh, it can be! But who wants to blather on with strangers about such things over a little talking box?

[Break does, sometimes. A lot of the time, actually.]

Precisely, that's why I wanted to put it out there! One never knows when this sort of information might come in handy.

... Yes, well. Perhaps you should try living here for six or seven months and then consider the question again.

[Jack chuckles.] True, true- I'd much rather speak to people in person. But then this has proved quite useful, regardless. I've been wondering if it was possible to procure an extra device or two for study...

Ah, considering the things I've been told when I'd first arrived here, I suppose I'll have little choice but to do so.

[Voice]

[break_onthru]

It has, it has. That I'm not sure about, friend. I imagine they'd be quite expensive, a fancy thing like a Forge. But why would you want another? I find one moooore than sufficient.

[Literally. If it finds a way to broadcast his dreams again, he might chuck it in the nearest body of water.]

Although I suppose it depends on what you'd plan to study with it.

Mmm, yes. The city does seem to throw many challenges our way. You'll understand what I mean soon enough, unfortunately!

[maelstroms]

You're certain the question is hypothetical, and hypothetical alone?

[break_onthru]

Are you calling me a liar, Ukitake-san?

[His voice is so saccharine it hurts.]

audio;

[maelstroms]

No.

You did refer to yourself as such, however. I am merely seeking confirmation from a man who sees fit to answer a question with yet another question.

audio;

[break_onthru]

Iiii think there's a difference between a man declaring himself one thing, and another accusing him of it.

[Or maybe there's really not at all. He's just being difficult.]

So what if I wasn't being hypothetical? Would that change your answer?

[alittleraven]

I never pictured you as a businessman, you know.

[Voice]

[break_onthru]

Gilbert-kuuun! There you are. I was starting to think the Mist had gotten you!

[Which he doesn't think is as jolly a fate as he's trying to make it sound.]

Did you know Oscar-sama's in the city?

[And Jack Vessalius. But Break's been sitting on that information, trying to figure out what to do with it (if anything).]

And you'd be surprised what necessity might drive one to do.

[Or maybe you wouldn't.]

Speaking of! What have you been doing with yourself all this time, Gilbert-kun? Nothing naaaaughty, I hope. ♥

[Voice]

[alittleraven]

[ The Mist had gotten him? Well, it might as well have. What with Jack and Oscar here, and then Break and never Oz, nope, and all this confusion and this PLACE and then being young again and - ]

Yes. I spoke to him. [ A bit awkwardly, because what, what, what are you implying by that? And why have you talked so much to Oscar, Break? OR HAVE YOU? ]

I've been trying to find answers. [ And not get himself killed, or die from mental angst. WHY ARE THEY TRAPPED HERE, HUFF HUFF ] ... I prefer to stay inside.

[Voice]

[break_onthru]

[Not implying anything! He just had a nice little drinking session with his good friend Oscar-sama.]

...Ohhhh? Have you? And have you found any answers? If so, pleeeease share!

[He doubts Gil could have uncovered much about the nature of Anatole that Break has not. But then, Gil has been known to surprise him.]

Inside where? Did you get a new place and not even invite me over to see it, Gilbert-kun? That's not very niiiice~.

[ Surreptitiously trying to make sure you aren't homeless on the street somewhere? Never.]
